The news you have been waiting for is here.
Kestrel Cafe is opening our brand new location on Saturday, January 10th, 2026, and we are celebrating with a full day of art, music, community, and creative energy.
Our new space is large and built for connection. We finally have room for everything we dreamed of, including a full stage, a café area, an expanded retail shop, and dedicated classroom spaces. This is a place designed for artists, musicians, makers, and anyone who wants to be part of something vibrant.
What to expect throughout the day
• A spacious retail shop filled with local art and handmade goods
• A full stage for performances, open mics, and community gatherings
• Creative classes you can sign up for during the event
• Yummy drinks and treats available as part of our café offerings
• Games, prizes, and fun surprises throughout the day
• A live performance by Pirates for Sail in the early evening
• Open mic signups available during the event for anyone who wants to share a song, poem, story, or moment on stage
Kestrel Cafe is a welcoming, inclusive space where people can create, relax, learn, perform, or simply enjoy the atmosphere. We are excited to open our doors and share this new chapter with you.
